A new pathway extension connecting with a public state high school is proving to be the ‘missing link’ to improving pedestrian safety and connectivity.
Noosa District State High students returned from September holidays with a spring in their step thanks to the new stretch of pathway outside their school.
The 300m pathway extension along Summit Road in Pomona was delivered by Noosa Council as part of its Missing Pathway Link Program.
“This new 2.5m wide pathway construction stretches approximately 300m between Page Court and Noosa District State High School, and includes a designated crossing point on Clay Street, stormwater inlet protection and a pedestrian safety barrier,” Noosa Council director of infrastructure services Shaun Walsh said.
Noosa District SHS principal Stacy Wilmore said the new pathway was a welcome addition.
“We greatly appreciate the completion of this vital infrastructure upgrade, which significantly enhances the safety and accessibility of our school environment,” she said.

“The new pathway provides a safer route for students and staff and reflects a strong commitment to supporting our school community.”
The infrastructure upgrade was funded by the Queensland South East Queensland Community Stimulus Program in partnership with Noosa Council.
“Council greatly appreciates the support of the Queensland Government for this important project, and we also thank nearby residents and motorists for their patience while the works were in progress,” Mr Walsh said.
